KIDS ATVS Banned!

Say GOODBYE to cheap computers as the conversion to lead free solders will add a snit pot of cost and will significantly lower the reliability of the solder joints leading to early life failures.

This is what we've seen in the HVAC industry for several years now.Several years ago I went to a honewwell class. I asked why we had so many circuit boards going bad. He told me that the boards weren't bad. problem was, they had to start using a different type solder & that those solder connections/joints were cracking causing bad connections

It is like every piece of federal legislation. They pass this stuff and then a few years later, people begin to realize the scope of what it really does, but they never repeal any of their mistakes. CERCLA was passed with nobody paying attention to what it really meant, and then a couple of years later real estate lawyers realized that it imposed strict liability for environmental clean up costs on anybody taking title to a contaminated piece of property even if they didn't know it was contaminated.

Have to wonder what they were thinking with this legislation since its going to put Goodwill and other similar nonprofits that resell used clothing and kids toys out of business.

State legistlation is no better!! Calif plans to register all septic tanks and "economically" ban any new ones.

Yeah, Wi forced registration of septic tanks and now forced a new home owner tax to pay for the registration that we didn't want or need.

If politician brains were plutonium you could scrape them all together and wouldn't be able to make a bomb.

The reports and excerpts of the law I have seen indicate that any product sold for use by children under 10 years old has to be tested by the manufacturer/distributor and certified as lead free. This includes clothing. No more selling your kids old cloths, bicycles, toys, etc at garage sales. I"ll bet all those old Tonka trucks I had had some lead paint and cant be sold anymore by anyone.

ATVs under 90cc were labeled, per govt standard, as being for riders over 6 years old, above 90cc, for over 12 years old. (I think these are the correct break points).

Not just chinese, as the local Honda dealer pulled $35,000 of his inventory and put under lock and key storage until, this government error is corrected (if it was an error).

So I'm assuming Kids are banned from fishing and hunting. You know the lead in those fishing weights and bullets I've used for 53 years one of these day's surely gonna kill me. I'm stocking up and waiting for the day were gonna have to take back our Country. Our socialist Government's out of control. P.S. Had the mini bikes, go carts, lead paint and asbestos filled schools and I'm still here. Healthy too.
